- Book Synopsis
- 'Signals is a special book, a witty, utterly fascinating guide to who you are and how you work. It's compassionate, humane and grounded in the author's deep clinical experience' Chris van Tulleken, author of Ultra-Processed People 'A doctor who has a gift for finding just the right words . . . compelling, affecting' The Times 'The most we can hope for if our own hormones ever go out of whack is that we will encounter a doctor as wise and humane as Hameed to put them right' Financial Times 'If you want to learn more about hormones, this is THE book to get' Davina McCall, author of Menopausing 'Fantastic for so many reasons . . . I read it cover to cover very quickly' Louise Newson, The Dr Louise Newson Podcast From cortisol to GLP-1, everyone is talking about hormones: Signals cuts through the noise and misinformation to help you finally understand yours. Dr Hameed reveals the workings of the miraculous hormone system and its far-reaching influence on men's and women's physical, emotional and mental health at every stage of life. Dr Saira Hameed is one of the UK's leading endocrinologists with over twenty years experience treating patients. Here, she invites us into her clinic to see what happens when the body's signaling system - our network of endocrine glands and hormone signals - breaks down. Sit beside Dr Hameed as she treats patients with crippling exhaustion, agonising infertility, absent libido and frenzied disorientation. Witness a young boy who can't stay awake and a teenage girl whose racing heart will not be able to keep going much longer... Combining compassionately told patient stories with pioneering medical breakthroughs - and exposing common misconceptions along the way - Signals is a vital book for anyone who wants to understand their health and happiness.
